Happy Birthday to Denny Laine, formerly of the Moody Blues and Wings (here's "Go Now" from the '60s, the first big Moodies hit, which actually was a cover of the song originally performed by rhythm and blues artist Bessie Banks)...

...and as Robert Drake of "Land Of The Lost" on WXPN said last Friday night, every trick-or-treater in the world will be singing this song tomorrow night ("I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow...typically silly, tacky '80s stuff).

About Me

I live in the area of Philadelphia, PA, USA, specifically in Bucks County. My blog deals primarily with political matters and current events in the region where I live, my country, and the world (with other stuff thrown in from time to time), and I will comment on all of this as intelligently as I can. I will try to be judicious in my use of language, steering clear of most guttural profanity, but I will respond in what I believe is an appropriate manner to current news and events. My hope is that people across the ideological spectrum will understand that I am trying to see through hypocrisy on as many fronts as possible for the purposes of promoting informed dialogue (by the way, the pic of the late actor Patrick McGoohan appears as a tribute of sorts to a guy who generally played characters who were self reliant and pretty much loathed authority, which I admire).
